Background
I, Guru Sanju, offer this teaching as a fully lived experience of water and air as medicine for the sacral and heart chakras. In these pages, I guide you through grounding with water—ponds, streams, moss, and gentle walking—and breathing the forest air rich in negative ions and natural plant essences. This is not a performance; it is a way of life I call the Sanju Frequency, where joy becomes instinctive, creativity flowers on its own, and love overflows into everything around you—stones, trees, dogs, and sunlight reflected on clear water. As you read, do the practices with me: dip your feet, feel the moss, walk slowly in moving water, open your chest, hug a tree, breathe like a child of the forest. I describe each gesture so you can practice safely and confidently wherever you are, at home or in nature. Let the sacral finally soften and the heart finally bloom.
Entering the Water Element and the Sacral Chakra
Let us do the water element grounding activity for the sacral chakra. This is a grounding through negative ions. Imagine a place that is like a pond where you can dip your legs and feet. Even if such a pond is not the ideal you might hold in your mind, this kind of place is extremely good in terms of natural elements, so we begin here.
This is why we do this activity: I dip my feet, and I invite you to do the same if you have a safe water body—pond, stream, shallow river, lake edge. First, simply have a look within: notice the ambiance as you imagine your feet submerged. This is a pond, and my feet are dipped in it.
Why is this dipping important? Because of the abundance of negative ions in this water and in the moist life around it. The mosses you see clinging to rocks and steps hold and radiate this freshness. They are part of the abundance of negative ions.
I feel a change and a shift in my energy as I do this activity. What an ideal place it is. Notice how sunlight falls upon you, and how its reflection moves in the water. Let your legs rest, dipped to a comfortable depth. Let your eyes have a look at the flora and fauna—the quiet neighbors of this place.
I feel lucky, and I feel extreme gratitude for what I am experiencing. I have become instinctive. This is the Sanju Frequency. This is the joy frequency. When your feet make gentle ripples, let joy ripple with them. As the small circles widen, let the mind widen too.
Instruction: Sit where the water reaches just above your ankles. Relax the toes and soles. Let the calves unclench. Keep your spine easy. Allow the arms to rest on your thighs or by your sides. Do not force any breath. Simply feel.
Become a kid again. Go a little mad. Go a little crazy to live life. If you have gone to the extreme in matter, now go to the extreme in living.
I will tell you the importance of the sacral chakra and why it needs to be balanced by the water element. Water balances your sacral because your body is about seventy percent water. The water element in you needs a consistent offering of negative ions. Otherwise, the positive ions produced by oxidative stress and reactivity create heat in the body, and that heat dries the internal waters. The negative ions from living water soothe and neutralize, making the internal environment hospitable for flow. When your blood receives abundant oxygen and the chemistry finds equilibrium, the whole body becomes fluid.
So you do not only drink water; you flush your whole system with negative ions from the water element. This supports the pathways through which prana moves. Your nervous system needs water to process the living current of your experience.
Instruction: Stay with your feet in the water 10–15 minutes. Allow coolness to enter through the soles. Keep the jaw soft. Periodically open the fingers and toes as if you are releasing old heat into the water. Let the face settle into a half-smile.
This silence is to absorb the natural beings who coexist with you at this moment. They enjoy the same ecosystem. Your brain in alliance with a busy mind can make you handicapped in feeling; you stop sensing nature and the liveliness of life; you think a lot. Return to sensing with the body.
This pond, this pool—whatever else it was made for—I found the reason: ground yourself. That is the best utility of such a place. I do not feel like going anywhere else.
The water is so crystal clear you can see through it. You may even rub your feet gently on rock faces carpeted with moss and receive negative ions through the soles. Absorb through your feet. Let this be amazing, amazing, amazing.
Life gives you opportunities. You have to live them. Be in the joyful energy while I enjoy some creativity. When the sacral chakra activates, your creative side activates. It is activated in me. I feel like creating moments—taking a picture with the eyes, composing with the senses—already creating by expressing myself, and it is reaching you in this moment.
I am demonstrating how my sacral gets activated: I feel like creating from this moment. That is the activation of the creative chakra in me. There is another dimension of creativity I will unfold.
Anatomy of the Sacral and the Waters Within
The sacral chakra is important to activate your sexual center, and this energy is fluid by nature. You need a lot of water element in your body. Know where the sacral is located: your reproductive organs and genitals are in the pelvic region, the region of the sacral chakra, and it needs lubrication. Your seminal fluid, your vaginal fluid—these are the lifeblood of the sacral waters. Your lymphatic system gets recharged when you practice water grounding.
When you ground the second chakra with water element practices, your reproductive organs receive the ions and moisture they need for healing. Your sexual appetite can improve. Your libido can improve. With sacral grounding, you become healthier and more inclined to share sacred intimacy with your partner.
Without sacral balancing, you cannot truly ground your Kundalini into the earth element. To stabilize Kundalini in earthly life, water grounding is a must. After ten minutes of still water immersion, I rise with my solar plexus already activated for a little adventure.
Instruction: After sitting still, slowly stand. Let excess water drain. Plant your feet well before moving. Do not rush; dizziness can arise as the body rebalances. Smile at the body for its faithful labor.
Moving to a Stream: Playing with Gravity, Sand, and Balance
Now imagine a brook, a stream passing by. Choose a spot where you can approach safely. Pass from the solid to the fluid with awareness. If you like, use your feet to slide down sandy steps; feel the yielding ground. Let the child in you balance with delight.
Remove your slippers. Make use of your feet. If sand adheres, let it. Sand can make things slippery—be mindful. The path you came by is a teacher. These few moments can be a complete practice for all the chakras when done consciously.
Instruction: If you are at home, you can place your feet in a tub of warm water, then cold water, alternating gently. This contrast relaxes fascia and soothes the nerves. Sit quietly after each change in temperature and notice the wave of calm.
Moss Grounding: Technique and Rationale
Find a mossy step or a stone blanket of green. This is where I sit. Place your feet on the moss. Moss grounding is important because moss is rich in oxygen-negative ions. You can do this for 5–10 minutes.
What you receive from this activity is invaluable. Look how the sun shines upon you; the jungle-like ambiance nourishes. The creativity of the sacral chakra is essential for living a life that is not of the matrix. If you want to live in abundance, you must release what you took from the matrix that does not serve life. When you have dropped what you do not need, you reach abundance.
Can you see how creatively I am expressing myself to reach you? If you are suffering from anything that is not life, begin here.
Instruction: Sit with the soles softly pressing the moss. Inhale through the nose naturally. Exhale longer than your inhale, as if you are sending warmth down into the ground through the soles. After several minutes, gently massage the arches and heels against the moss to awaken the nerve endings.
I cannot stop sharing the angle of life that opens when you sit close to the ground. Take a moment of silence to experience this rawness. Go silent. Allow the mind to empty into the green.
Enjoy the silence. The meditation you seek can be done simply: stop and enter. The silence itself is life. After moss grounding for about ten minutes, proceed to water grounding once more.
Water Grounding: Stillness, Movement, and Seeing Through
What is grounding here? I sit again 10–15 minutes, feet in the water. Look at the blue sky mirrored by ripples. Trees paint the surface green. It is all water, yet so still you may not feel the movement. Look closely—moving water holds abundance of negative ions. Because this water is moving and clean, its clarity shows itself when you let the surface still.
Let the water clear. Look through the transparency to the roots beneath. Notice a leaf underwater, a shell floating, dipping, rising. These simple objects become teachers when you give them attention.
Water balances your sacral chakra. Water makes you sexy in the deepest sense: alive, moist, sensitive, creative. Life energy is sex energy; life itself is energy. When you lack abundant sex energy, you are not living fully. And when you are not living fully, sex dims. Both are true.
How to balance the water element? Be in nature. Absorb yourself completely in the water element and allow yourself to get lost—safely—in such places. Sit with your legs dipped. Sit in silence.
Open your chest. Open yourself. Gently bend your neck and let the throat soften. Inhale the earthly smell. Receive the sunlight if it touches your skin. Do nothing for some time. Absorb. Pay attention to everything.
Feel grateful. Fill your heart with love. Fill your heart with abundance. Go wild with gentleness.
Instruction: After sitting, practice water walking. Step into shallow water up to the mid-shin. Walk slowly. Feel the resistance. This strengthens foot and leg muscles and reduces inflammation, pain, and fatigue. If it is slippery, avoid it. Safety first.
Can you see your legs, your feet in your mind’s eye? Listen to the sound of water. It harmonizes the vagus nerve. All these earthly practices—moss, water, stillness, gentle movement—activate the vagus. This is why this is cooling and restorative.
Have a feel of the wind. Let the air move over damp skin. Receive.
Air Element and the Heart Chakra
Today I cover two aspects: balancing the sacral with water and balancing the heart with prana in nature. As you breathe outdoor freshness, wind carries negative ions to you. They enter through the lungs, and your heart chakra awakens because your breathing deepens. The heart chakra is connected with breathing, and breathing is connected with fresh, clean air.
In rainforest-like canopies and forest corridors, there is abundance of negative ions. The air is extremely purified. Natural oils from plants—subtle fragrances you can barely name—are antibacterial and antimicrobial. The microorganisms and pollutants common in the city are not supported here. The plant oils help keep airborne disease at bay. Prana is not just a vague energy; it is inseparable from the purity of air quality where you breathe.
Instruction: Stand where trees are dense and the air is soft. Place one hand lightly on the sternum and one hand on the navel. Breathe in through the nose, feeling the lower hand move first, then the upper. Exhale through the nose or lips, longer than the inhale. After a minute, relax the arms and breathe without effort for two minutes, simply receiving.
Walk a little to an open space. Let what you have practiced settle: the five elements inside you can be balanced through simple acts done with full presence and awareness. Creativity will flow, and you will become more alive each moment.
Now let us experience something unique, powerful, and humbling.
Tree Hugging: Rooting the Heart in Earth
How can you ignore hugging trees? A tree is abundance in negative ions. Sacral balancing is about feeling love toward yourself, and a tree can mirror this love without judgment.
Ground by opening your slippers and letting your bare feet touch the earth. Hug the tree as someone lovable and beloved. Offer thanks to nature and receive negative ions from the trunk, the bark, the living column of water that rises through it. Trees ground you. Trees root you. Trees balance all your chakras.
I feel, in this moment, a flushing of negative ions from the earth into my feet, entering my body. It is so experiential. Vibrations and gentle jolts may appear because the volume of life is large. This is Kundalini movement—she knows how to dance when you give her what she wants. She wants lots of negative ions; this place offers abundance, and I receive it all.
Instruction: Stand with the inner arms wrapping the trunk at your chest height. Let the cheek rest softly against bark. Keep knees unlocked. Breathe naturally. If emotion arises, allow it kindly. Stay 2–5 minutes, longer if comfortable. When you release, thank the tree with a touch of your palm to the trunk.
Loving the Animals: Opening the Heart by Sharing Energy
Before I go, I love the dogs nearby. I share my energy and open my heart chakra more. I walk barefoot; my Kundalini flows and moves me to do, to go, to meet. After balancing the chakras, the instruction is simple: live life. Without living life, you can do nothing.
Let us have this experience of living life together. I feel gratitude for the companions of this place: Kyoto and Romeo, Kyoto and Juliet—call them by any names your heart chooses. “Juliet,” I say, “thank you.” She recognizes me. The love energy in me is activated by them—and in them by me. “Let me love you,” I whisper. Such a big dog and so lovable. Look at this creature—so cute. “You recognize me?” I laugh. “Show me your feet.” Hello, friend. New friend. She takes the healing very well. Here are two dogs; they are taking the healing very well.
Another stands in front, unsure. “Come here,” I say softly. “Give me your hands.” Hello, hello, hello. Some hesitate. That is fine. Healing reaches even those who watch from a distance. I named you Juliet—tall legs, bright eyes. Romeo waits there. “Hey, Romeo,” I call, “what are you doing? Come.” Perhaps he prefers the mud today. He grounds himself on the earth, taking negative ions from soil and stone. “We will meet later,” I smile. He rises to greet me and says his goodbye in his way.
I take a picture of Juliet with my mind and heart. “Look at me,” I say. “Yes, here I am with Juliet, loving and being with her.” She offers her paw—yes, yes, yes—hello, hello, hello. Look at the surrenderedness of this creature. Amazing, isn’t it? This opens the heart chakra and steadies all chakras because, as I said, what does Kundalini want to do after balancing all the chakras? She wants to live as love.
“Look at her eyes,” I whisper. We are one.
“Say bye-bye,” I laugh. “Bye-bye-bye.” So surrendered. I am able to show you everything that is all-encompassing. “Bye, Romeo. Bye, cows. Bye, friends.”
Should I say bye to you? Not yet; the practice continues wherever you are.
Practicing at Home When Nature Is Far
If you have no nearby pond, river, waterfall, or lake, you can still practice:
- Foot soak ritual: Fill one tub with warm water and a pinch of natural salt; another with cool water. Sit with feet in warm water for 3–5 minutes. Breathe softly. Switch to cool for 60–90 seconds. Repeat 2–3 times, finishing with cool. Dry feet and massage with a simple natural oil. Sit quietly for five minutes with hands resting on the lower belly.
- Moss substitute: Place a clean, damp cotton towel on the floor to mimic the soft pressure on the soles. Gently press arches and heels into it while exhaling slowly.
- Water walking substitute: Stand in the tub with a few centimeters of water and slowly step in place, lifting and placing the feet with attention, for two minutes.
- Forest air substitute: Step onto a balcony, near indoor plants, or at an open window at sunrise or early morning. Breathe slow, low, and wide. Imagine your ribcage floating as the air moves in. Use a drop of pure cedar or pine hydrosol in a bowl of warm water nearby if you like a subtle woodland scent.
- Tree hug substitute: Stand facing a wall. Place your palms flat, as if greeting a tree. Rest your forehead gently on the wall. Breathe as though your breath and the wall’s solidity meet and exchange. Whisper a thank-you.
These are simple doors. Enter them with gentleness.
Why the Elements Matter to the Chakras
You saw how I recharged as I did the five elements’ balancing and strengthening activities. Call them activities or simply a way of being—what you call them is less important than how you live them. Live with full presence and awareness, and your chakras will balance. Creativity will flow. You become more alive each moment.
Water cools and softens the sacral. Air opens and brightens the heart. Earth steadies the root through barefoot touch and tree embrace. Fire awakens the solar plexus through sunlight on skin and courage in the belly. Space offers silence, the container in which everything unfolds.
Instruction: After any session—water, air, tree, or animal connection—sit for two minutes with eyes half-closed. Simply notice the hum in your body, the pulse in your feet, the warmth in your chest. Do not label; receive.
The Sanju Frequency: Instinct, Joy, and Creative Overflow
I call this instinctive living the Sanju Frequency. It is the joy frequency. To live it, you do not add performance; you remove resistance. Play with water. Let wind touch your damp skin. Sit on moss. Hug a tree. Share love with an animal who is already pure presence. Let sunlight fall on you and watch how the reflection shimmers in water and in your eyes.
I have taken, in what feels like ninety minutes of life, a wealth of negative ions from the environment. They recharge Kundalini. She processes in the body and then makes you live the life for which you were born. Ask yourself gently: What were you born for? Let the answer arrive not as a sentence but as a warmth in the belly, a softness in the heart, a clear step onto the path.
Go, discover yourself.
A Simple Sequence You Can Repeat Any Day
- Arrive and feel: Stand quietly. Place awareness in the soles of your feet. Let the breath fall into place on its own.
- Moss or soft-ground touch (5–10 min): Feet on moss or a soft, damp towel. Exhale longer than you inhale.
- Water grounding (10–15 min): Feet in moving or clean still water up to the ankles or shins. Relax the face and jaw. Watch reflections.
- Water walking (2–5 min): Slow, careful steps in shallow water. Pause if slippery.
- Breath with air (3–5 min): Stand among trees or open air. One hand on chest, one on belly. Breathe low to high, exhale longer.
- Tree embrace (2–5 min): Barefoot if possible. Rest cheek and palms on the trunk. Whisper thanks.
- Heart opening with an animal (as available): Offer gentle attention. Receive connection without demand.
- Close with silence (2–5 min): Sit or stand, eyes soft. Let the elements settle inside you.
Words to Carry Home
- Become a kid again.
- Go a little crazy to live life.
- You have gone to the extreme in matter; now go to the extreme in living.
- Water makes you fluid; air makes you open.
- Trees ground you; animals remind you you are already love.
- Silence is life.
- Kundalini moves when you give her what she wants: abundance of living prana, negative ions, and your full presence.
I will not tell you to chase anything. When you allow life, it happens. When you dip your feet, when you breathe clean air, when you rest on the bark, life meets you.
We are one.
Go and discover yourself.
